Commentary by Attorney Michael Grossman
When someone dies in a single-vehicle crash, it’s easy for people to assume the driver simply made a mistake. But serious accidents—especially fatal ones—deserve more than assumptions. Without a complete investigation, the real cause may never come to light.
Did the crash receive the level of attention it truly needed from investigators?
Losing control of a vehicle can happen for many reasons, and figuring out why takes time, tools, and experience. Was the scene documented thoroughly? Did investigators look at vehicle path, tire marks, or driver behavior before the crash? In single-vehicle accidents, it’s all too common for deeper questions to go unasked, especially if no one pushes for answers.
Has the possibility of a mechanical failure been explored?
Mechanical problems—like a sudden brake failure, steering malfunction, or even a tire blowout—can lead to a loss of control without any warning. These kinds of issues aren’t always obvious and won’t show up unless someone takes the time to inspect the vehicle carefully. If that hasn’t happened, the real cause could still be sitting in the wreckage.
Was electronic crash data preserved and reviewed?
Vehicles like the Nissan Rogue can store critical information leading up to a crash: speed, brake input, steering action, and more. That data could reveal whether the vehicle reacted to driver input or if something else caused it to veer off course. But that window for recovery is short—if it wasn’t gathered early, it may be gone.
Even when only one vehicle is involved, the investigation shouldn’t be treated as routine. The loss of life alone demands a full accounting of what happened and why.
Key Takeaways:
- Single-vehicle crashes need full scene reviews—not just assumptions.
- Mechanical failures can cause sudden loss of control—and require proper inspection.
- Onboard data may explain the crash—but must be retrieved quickly.
